Donald Trump’s widely panned address to the nation in a nutshell was that nothing is his fault, and he hates Joe Biden. The nationally-televised address was packed full of lies, so much so that even CNN’s Daniel Dale looked exhausted.
“I saw a whole bunch of false claims,” Dale told News Central host Kate Bolduan, HuffPost reports.
A clip from the speech showed Trump falsely claiming that inflation “was the worst in 48 years” when he took office in January, that he has slashed drug prices by up to 600%, claimed “everything else is falling rapidly,” and said “inflation is stopped.”
“A whole bunch of claims there,” Daniel said. “None of that is true. So, inflation is not stopped. The latest inflation rate we have for September was 3.0%. That was the fifth consecutive month that the year-over-year inflation rate had increased.”
“Now, it is possible that later this morning we will get a lower rate for November, but that won’t mean that prices have ceased rising, simply that they’re rising less rapidly,” he continued. “It’s also not true that President Trump inherited the worst inflation of all time.”
